Looks like Sports Authority doesn’t want to miss out on the Wii Fit craze. The sporting goods retailer plans to start selling the exercise game along with Wii consoles at select stores. Kinda funny that the announcement comes shortly after the American Council on Exercise called results from Nintendo’s popular fitness series “underwhelming,” no?

“Sports Authority recognized that the Wii console is a product that can help you stay active and have fun with your family at the same time, which is why the retail partnership with Nintendo is a perfect fit,” said Sports Authority president David Campisi. Yeah yeah, Campisi, we don’t need you to sell us on the Wii. No matter what store the thing is in it’s going to move, so it was pretty smart for you to pick the thing up. Hell, Dell was selling them for a while.

Nintendo prez Reggie Fils-Aime stopped by the GameStop Manager Conference to announce details for Wii Fit Plus, the latest in Nintendo’s exercise game series. The new title is really an expansion of the first, hopefully adding more hula-hooping goodness to the existing game.

For thsoe of you who already own Wii Fit, the Plus version will run you a cool $19.99, and it’s available October 4th. If you don’t already own the game but want to see Nintendo continue to make money off this crazy game, Wii Fit Plus will be replacing the original version of the game at $99.99. That includes a Wii Fit Board and the new title. The new bundle will also be available October 4th.
